iCloud: A Cheater's Nightmare

Submitted by hubby on Fri, 10/14/2011 - 1:25pm

Apple released iCloud for Mac, PC and iOS5 devices this week and after only a few days, millions of users have already started using the service. However two features of the new iCloud service could cause big problems for anyone cheating or otherwise doing things they might not ought to be doing.

Photostream:

One of the most ballyhoo'd features of iCloud is Photo Stream. To quote Apple's website:

With iCloud, when you take a photo on one device, it automatically appears on all your other devices. No syncing. No sending. Your photos are just there. Everywhere you want them.

Every picture snapped on your iPhone or iPad are automatically streamed to every other iPhone, iPad, PC or Mac configured with the same iCloud account. A photo taken on your iPhone at the bar at 2am will near-instantly appear on your computer at home or on the iPhone of your spouse trying to text-message you asking what you're doing. And the best part? You cannot delete individual photos from your iCloud Photo Stream.

You read that right: Once you take a picture, it will automatically be added into your Photo Stream and once that happens you cannot delete it. Every pictures is stored on the Photo Stream for 30 days, or until you take over 1000 pictures, whichever comes first.

**Update for iOS 6: You can now delete pictures from your photostream, but only on the device you are deleting it from (it stays on the other device's Photostream)

Update 2013 - iOS 7 - Now when you delete a picture from Photostream, it is deleted from all devices. If you use iPhoto had configure it to download your images, the downloaded images will not be deleted.

The Find Friends App:

Another new feature of iOS5 is a free app called "Find Friends". Similar to the Find My iPhone service of iCloud, Find Friends allows you to invite people to follow you wherever you go. Once you give authorization to allow someone to follow you, they will know where you are 24/7, without any notice. Scorned lovers across the globe may already be secretly inviting and authorizing themselves (without the knowledge of the phone-owner, if they have access to the phone) to track their cheating husband or wife and every step they take.

Smart divorce lawyers out there may already be instructing husbands and wives how to use these great new services.

Good! One who has a spouse or so called significant other is the lowest of low if he has to hide his whereabouts or interactions from his partner
Its asinine and selfish not to mention cruel to betray someone you tell to their face you love.

People who write Articles like this, out to protect, "warn" or "save" the cowardly
Scumbags who deserve to be caught and dumped have no moral compass, should not even breed never mind be in a relationship. People are such self serving, self centered bottom-meany-roonies, i hope they get maimed or brutally killed because that's 2hat 5hey deserve! Selfish pricks

To clarify, I did not say they should be murdered!
I said they should be killed....they are a menace to society! However it may be. By a bus, car accident, plane crash, illness, you know, the same things that kill good, moral, additions to society oughtta take the cheater instead. I did not say the cheater ought to be murdered. Your comment insinuates this.

Never said it was ok to kill, just said I "hope" they GET KILLED moron. Maybe then and only then will they get to experience and feel the pain they intentionally inflict on someone else for the sale of pleasuring themselves.
They don't deserve any sympathy or respect.

Me said it was ok just said I "hope" they do. Maybe then and only then will they get to experience and feel the pain they intentionally inflict on someone else for the sale of pleasuring themselves.
Yes, they don't deserve to be treated with any type of sympathy or respect.

Wow, way to backpeddle!
Your first statement tells us all everything we need to know about you. Either you are a horrible person or, deep down, you actually understand that death, or even wishing it upon someone is not justified for 'betraying' someone, but you're just an internet troll that thinks it's ok to spew anything they want from the safety of their parent's basement.
Either way, like the anonymouos one said, your parents must be SO proud.
